"Your Majesty, the project of Huainan Kingdom's tribute this time is one of the food and drink." Liu An smiled proudly, and then said: "It's better to let my subordinates sacrifice ugliness and make it up for Your Majesty on the spot." ”

Although Liu Che was a little unhappy in his heart, he also wanted to see what Liu An could do. Nodding his head, he said, "If King Huainan can improve his diet, it would be a great thing." ”

Seeing the emperor's permission, Liu An nodded and said, "Then let the eighth prince sacrifice ugliness." ”

With Liu An's permission, the eight people got up one after another, and as soon as they raised their hands, they took out small packages from their clothes. Yan Ming sniffed slightly and asked with a faint fragrance.

Presumably there are some spices in it.

Huainan is close to Baiyue, and the land of Baiyue is rich in all kinds of spices, which were brought by the eight of them, and these spices were used for cooking meat in addition to alchemy, but some special ways to eat were studied.

At this time, the eight people took out eight kinds of spices, and put them into the woks in front of them, and the meat in them was stewed.

"Your Majesty, these eight flavors, the stewed meat is eight different aromas. Each one has a unique taste, and it's extraordinary! Liu An said proudly.

Liu Che looked at it coldly, and when he wanted to speak, Yan Ming took a step forward and said with a smile: "The spices of the prince are naturally very unusual when used in meat. But it's just not ordinary, it's just a glimpse of the way in cooking. ”

As soon as Yan Ming spoke, the thunder among the Eight Princes was shocked.

Before coming, the king of Huainan said that he would offer food to the emperor. But he didn't say anything about such a challenging dedication. Now that Yan Ming is out, Lei was immediately reminded of the Drunken Immortal Building opened by Yan Ming.

Although he didn't have a chance to eat a bite of food in the Drunken Immortal Tower, the smell of it outside already made his mouth salivate.

Now that Yan Ming is out, the food of Huainan is naturally not worth mentioning.

Yan Ming said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The cuisine of Huainan is indeed extraordinary, but it relies on spices to enhance the taste, and it is better to use the purity of the material of the dish itself." ”

"What? Yanhou also knows how to cook? King Huainan looked at Yan Ming and asked with some surprise.

"I know a little bit about fur." Yan Ming said very modestly.

"That's a lesson." King Huainan sneered.

Yan Ming looked at Liu Che and arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the traditional Ding Wok cooking food of the Han Dynasty can no longer satisfy the appetite of the prince of Huainan, I think it is better to serve some of the things you usually eat." ”

As he spoke, Yan Ming blinked.

Liu Che immediately understood what Yan Ming meant.

The so-called weekday food is all kinds of fried and fried foods after Yan Ming improved his cooking techniques.

The practice of these things, the cooks of the court have long learned, but they are just kept as secrets and have not been circulated.

The matter of stir-frying was a secret book until the Tang and Song dynasties, and it was not easy to show people.

With Liu Che's order, the people in the back kitchen immediately removed the original table, and some people placed a large dining table with chairs on the side of the table.

A huge round table was set up.

"If you don't eat anything else today, I'll invite you to eat a hot pot." Liu Che directly took out the hot pot Dafa when Yan Ming entertained him for the first time.

This kind of thing is trouble-free, and the taste is reflected by dipping sauce, but it is simple.

Hot pot is already familiar with the high-level friends between Chang'an and Yan Ming. But more people still don't know about this advanced way of eating.

Including Liu An, who was slightly stunned after seeing a huge hot pot placed in the middle of the table.

"Yan Ming, come here, you can master the heat of this hot pot." Liu Che beckoned, and Yan Ming was also invited to a banquet.

Yan Ming skillfully adjusted the hot pot, put the prepared vegetables and meat into a big pot, and waited for the charcoal inside to boil the hot pot.

After finishing this issue, Liu Che and Yan Ming noticed that Liu An and the others did not look at how they concocted hot pot, but instead focused on the table and chairs.

"This thing doesn't get tired of sitting!"

"It's a good thing, you see there's a dragon pattern on it, which can only be used by royals."

"The one who can study such a big table is talent."

Among the Eight Princes, there are those who know how to study things, and they shake their heads in admiration again and again.

Yan Ming looked at their old hats, couldn't help but laugh, and greeted: "The meat and vegetables in the hot pot are ready, let's move the chopsticks." ”

The people from Huainan looked at Liu An, and after getting the eyes of affirmation and encouragement, they stretched their chopsticks into the hot pot one after another, and ate a bite of the meat and vegetables when they found them.

After Hachiko ate the first bite of the hot pot, his eyes showed brilliance.

"This hot pot is so delicious!"

"Why does meat taste different when it's cut into slices than when eaten in chunks?"

Hearing the discussion of the eight princes, Liu An couldn't sit still, reached out and grabbed a piece of meat from the hot pot and put it in his mouth.

Soon, his critical expression turned into enjoyment.

"This thing is so delicious, is this how the emperor eats every day?" Liu An asked in surprise.

Yan Ming shook his head and smiled: "I vomit when I eat too much." Lord Wang, I heard that you invented tofu, if you put some tofu in it, it will taste better. ”

After eating a meal, there were many changes in the middle, but Yan Ming and Liu Che always pressed the king of Huainan.

The king of Huainan and his eight dukes had never been deflated in Huainan Kingdom, and their hearts were naturally unbalanced.

"Eating and drinking are all trails, all trails." King Huainan smiled helplessly.

At the end of the meal, both sides were silent.

After the song ended and the banquet ended, Liu Che suddenly stopped Yan Ming and said, "I saw that there was tofu among the tributes he sent, you said that the tofu was delicious, you made one for me this year." ”

Yan Ming nodded and said, "Thousands of stewed tofu and ten thousand stewed fish." These two things are stewed together, and they are the most delicious. ”

The two of them were messing around, and they asked people to bring a large piece of tofu that King Huainan attacked.

This night, Yan Ming and Liu Che finally found various ways to eat tofu, if Liu An knew that the tofu he invented, Yan and Liu Che made so many ways to eat it, they would definitely vomit several liters of blood.

The two of them messed around for a long time before Yan Ming said goodbye.

Liu Che gave Liu An a banquet according to etiquette, and after that, it was the beginning of King Huainan's free Chang'an trip.

Of course, the first thing is to meet the Empress Dowager Dou and the Empress Dowager, once you get the trust of these two people, if Huainan really wants to be independent, we can also sit down and study it.

Therefore, Liu An's normal activities in Chang'an City have not yet ended, and when he heard that the Empress Dowager Dou was in the Hot Spring Palace, he decided to immediately go to the Hot Spring Palace to greet the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.

Only by hugging the thighs of these two people can we ensure that the Yan family will not fall.
